基于离水辐射的湖泊水体遥感通过反演与光谱关系密切的悬浮泥沙、 浮游植物和黄色物质等要素的浓度来实现对水质状况的评估, 然而由于湖泊水体的复杂性以及不同要素间的相互干扰, 现有的基于反射率光谱的分析方法难以准确反演这些要素。 从悬浮泥沙水体离水辐射的反射率、 偏振光谱特性出发, 给出敏感波段处悬浮泥沙浓度与反射率、 偏振度之间的关系, 比对了基于反射率以及基于偏振度的两种反演方法在实验室水体、 巢湖水体中的应用效果。 研究结果表明, 在湖泊复杂水体条件下, 水体的偏振信息具有比反射率更加良好的抗干扰能力, 显示偏振度信息在湖泊水质遥感上存在着重要的应用潜力。

Remote sensing of lake water based on water-leaving radiance is to retrieve the concentrations of suspended sediment, phytoplankton and yellow substance which have great impacts on spectrum to assess the water quality. Howerver, because of the complexity of the lake water compositons and the interference between the different components, it is of great difficulty to get accurate results with the reflectance spectrum method developed recently. In the present paper, the authors firstly discussed the reflectance and polarization spectral feature of suspended sediment water body, found out the relations of the reflectance and the degree of polarization of water-leaving radiance and the concentration of suspended sediment at the sensitive bands. The authors also compared the effectiveness of the retrieval approaches based on reflectance and polarization in laboratory water body and Chaohu water body respectively. The results show that in the lake water body where the constituents are very complex, the polarization information has greater capacity of anti-jamming, therefore it will have great potential applictions in lake water quality remote sensing.
